Caitlin Clark argued with a fan and pushed away a rival player as tempers flared in what proved the final game of her WNBA rookie season on Wednesday night.

The Indiana Fever star was unable to prevent her team from crashing out of the playoffs in a dramatic 87-81 loss to the Connecticut Sun, despite producing a sensational 25-point haul and setting another individual record.

Before her season came to an end, tempers flared in Connecticut as Clark traded jabs with a Sun fan sitting courtside before pointing them out to security, who quickly intervened to talk with the individual.

She also had another heated moment earlier in the game after Sun forward DeWanna Bonner was not called for a landing-zone foul while stepping into her path after a 3-point attempt.

As the pair came together after the no-call, Clark could be seen shoving Bonner away furiously before they exchanged words in a fiery moment.

Clark got into an argument with a fan sat courtside during a heated moment on Wednesday

Clark shoved Connecticut Sun forward DeWanna Bonner during the WNBA playoff matchup

The 22-year-old appeared furious after she went down under a challenge from the Connecticut star which went unpunished.

Lexie Hull, Clark’s teammate, was quick to step in to separate the two, but also get some words in with Bonner.

Caitlin started the angry sequence by chirping at the nearby referee about the no-call.

Bonner stood right near the conversation and interjected, leading to Clark shoving her Sun opponent.

The more-heated moments in sports are common in playoff games with the stakes of every possession. That has more than translated to Clark, who knew her rookie season was over with a loss on Wednesday night.

And that was exactly what happened as Connecticut advanced to the WNBA semifinals with a 87-81 victory over the Fever, stopping Clark from an active basketball season for the first time in nearly a year.

The Sun led by nine to start the fourth quarter, but two tough Clark baskets got the fever back into the game and let Indiana momentarily take the lead.

Clark’s history-making ways continued, however, as she became the first player in WNBA history to have 25 points, five rebounds, and five assists in a playoff game.

She played for the entire game, finishing with that 25-point total and adding nine assists and six rebounds.

Bonner and Clark both started for Team WNBA during the league’s All-Star Game in July after both did not make Team USA for the Paris Olympics.

The WNBA All-Stars handed Team USA their only loss of the summer that night in Phoenix.

After Clark’s interaction with a fan, more angry words were traded with Bonner from further apart before the rookie walked away from the situation, still perturbed.

Clark arrived for the Fever’s make-or-break playoff game wearing $1,700 worth of Prada items.

As she made her way into Connecticut’s Mohegan Sun Arena, the 22-year-old boasted her new Prada purchases ahead of her most crucial night in professional basketball so far.

Clark, who was named WNBA Rookie of the Year at the weekend after her sensational debut campaign for the Fever, was seen boasting black sunglasses from the luxury Italian designer worth around $500.

With Hull by her side, she walked into the arena wearing black leather slingback pumps valued at $1,200.
